Why Use a Doula?

Doulas mother the mother through the experience of labor, delivery, and through the first 6 weeks postpartum.

Women have complex needs during childbirth and the weeks that follow. In addition to medical care and the love and companionship provided by their partners, women need consistent, continuous reassurance, comfort, encouragement and respect. They need individualized care based on their circumstances and preferences.

As doulas, we are prepared to provide physical (non-medical), emotional and informational support to women and their partners during labor and birth, as well as to families in the weeks following childbirth. We offer a loving touch, positioning and comfort measures that make laboring women and families feel nurtured and cared for.
